i miss the days when i was not concerned with all these politics... when the word microsoft could mean just a lowered level of softness... and when i/we could all care less what we use and that we lived life not through our screens...

>Sounds like somebody got caught with a h4x0red corperate install of XP.<

Okay....... that really doesn't make any sense.....

>Someone is not a hypocrite if they critisize the
US government and continue to live here. They're
a patriot. They love their country so much, they
don't want to see it crumble under the leadership
of moronic politicians who seemingly always try
to pass unconstitutional acts.<

Exactly.

>If you don't like Microsoft, tough nuggets, what you gonna do about it? <

Thats a pretty lame response...

>I just don't understand all the complaining. Also, I don't see how a supposed monopoly can affect one individual so much that he has to say he hates both the US Government, and Microsoft.<

Thats because you've never worked for a company that competes with Microsoft, and experinced what its like. Its not my fault that your to naive to understand.

>One more thing mfc2themax, if your not a fan of the US Government, why do you have an american flag as your avatar?<

I should have been more clear, our current adminstration is the one thats terrible.

>i agree, GWB is a complete idot, and MS sucks...my question is...if you dont like MS..then why is your name 'mfc2themax?<

I registerd it a few months ago, didn't feel like getting a new one.

>Jealousy? I think so.<

Why would i be Jealous of Microsoft?? I turned down a position to work there (i talked more about it in a previous thread).

>The registeration for passport, is no diffent then any other registeration. It just registers you for all the sites that use it.<

Oh man, this whole world is gone from it.... nobody seems to know whats actually going on up in Remond.

>I mean, there is a reason why it is leading for software. You know?<

Yes i know, they use illegal tactics. I have a lot of good contacts with Senior level execs up there and have great insight into how the company works.

MICRO

What I think is that more people nedd to start taking risks and abandon Microsoft and move twords Linux which is now pretty safe. The only reason Microsoft had a monopoly is because we have brainless Idiots that are too afraid to just take a leap from Microsoft and find something better.

That's right, and all drivers are written for windows, that's why linux nor any other OS has been as good as windows
<

and 90% of drivers are written for *nix also
furthermore, Windows does not yet support firewire which means its way behind.

Paradox:

nobody writes software for anything but windows because everybody has windows, nobody will get other OSes because nobody writes software for other OSes, SO EVERYBODYS AFRAID TO MOVE AN MS WINS!!!! WAKE UP!

>furthermore, Windows does not yet support firewire which means its way behind.

Windows XP supports it, and does not support USB 2.0, despite the fact that Microsoft is on the USB board.

>nobody writes software for anything but windows because everybody has windows, nobody will get other OSes because nobody writes software for other OSes, SO EVERYBODYS AFRAID TO MOVE AN MS WINS!!!! WAKE UP!<

I love this type of argument, everyone uses a microsoft product so microsoft sucks. Go figure.
